1087. May God be gracious

Author: Emma Turl

May God be gracious,
may he richly bless us,
shining on us with his loving face;
till his salvation
reaches every nation
and all the people know his ways!

2. Our God, we pray you,
may the nations praise you,
let all the people rejoice and sing.
You will direct us,
guide us and protect us,
always a fair and righteous King.

3. Yes, God, we pray you,
may the nations praise you—
then shall the land yield its harvest store.
Pour out your blessing,
your renown increasing
till all the world is filled with awe!
BASED ON PSALM 67
